MSNBC hosts report Biden’s inner circle is ‘freaking out’ and discussing quitting

Several MSNBC hosts reported Thursday night that members of the president’s Joe Biden circle and the Democratic Party were “freaked out” by his performance in the CNN debate against the former president Donald Trump and we discussed what to do next.

After the debate, the MSNBC host Rachel Maddow “It was difficult to hear what he was saying because his voice was very weak and his hesitant delivery in his first responses must have created a shock in the campaign,” he noted.

MSNBC Host Nicole Wallace He then revealed: “I was on the phone during part of the conversation after that became clear and a conversation was taking place within Biden’s circle, and certainly a much more frank conversation is taking place within the Democratic coalition, and I think there will be stories of a lot of concern about tonight’s performance. »

After Maddow asked exactly what type of conversations were taking place, Wallace responded that “the conversations range from whether he should run this race tomorrow morning to what was wrong with him.”

MSNBC Host Joy Reid revealed that she had heard similar concerns:

I, too, was on the phone during much of the debate with people from Obama’s world, with Democrats, with people who are political operatives, with campaign operatives. My phone really never stopped ringing and the universal reaction was close to panic. The people texting me were very concerned that President Biden seemed extremely weak, seeming

I am extremely weak, and I will just repeat what I said earlier. President Biden had a job tonight, a primary job, and yes, it was to make the case for the criminality of Donald Trump and all of these things, but he needed to settle his own party. He needed to settle the score with the Democrats.

She explained:

Joe Biden’s job tonight was to reassure them. His job was to calm his party, to make them feel, “Yes, I can do this. I have four more years. I have the capacity and the stamina and the strength to do four more years.” He didn’t do that. He did the opposite. He made them more panicked. The people who texted me were more panicked. In fact, they expected things to be better than they were, and now they’re in, I won’t say full-on panic, but they’re getting there.

“I know for a fact that Joe Biden passionately believes that he is the only person who can beat Donald Trump, and he has proof because he has done it before,” Reid said. “He knows he has a certain demographic strength that Donald Trump cannot counter. He’s the real working class white guy who actually represents the Donald Trump space, so he knows how to talk to them. He believes he is the only person capable of doing it. »

However, she concluded: “

The problem is that after tonight, his party no longer believes in it.
